He enrolled at the Collegium Carolinum Zurich and studied theology, although he was more interested in philology; He was ordained in 1792 .

  • Hans Martin von Orelli (* 1799 in Zurich; † August 4, 1799 ibid);
  • Susanna Margaretha von Orelli (born September 5, 1811 in Zurich; † 1904); first marriage to Hans Rudolf Spöndli († 1834 in Dübendorf ) and second marriage to Diethelm Burkhard (1798–1871); her grandson was the later eponymous politician Diethelm Burkhard .
